Recall Alert: 2.2 Million Chevrolet, Pontiac, Saturn Cars Get Second Ignition Recall

The Problem: This recall covers all of the vehicles recalled previously for ignition switch defects but was issued to include a second repair to the original fix.

The Fix: Now ignition lock cylinders will also be replaced with upgraded units. New keys will be cut and if needed reprogrammed. These fixes are in addition to the ignition switch upgrade from the earlier recall.

What Should Owners Do: GM will contact owners when parts become available and advises that until the repairs are made that nothing should be attached to the ignition key while the car is in use.
